Evidence tells us women are social, ceremonial creatures whose fertility affects
their own health, as well as the health of their offspring.

When women are healthy, strong and educated, the health of their families,
communities and even their nation, is greatly enhanced.

As research into women’s health progresses, these findings on the importance of health fitness in girls’ and women’s lives leads us to ask: What is holding us back from insuring that meaningful woman-centered activities are ubiquitous?

Stepping back from the research picture that tells us the value of fitness, we can see that -- despite this information -- only a small number of women benefit. How can this be?

First, we need to reach women in a way they can hear the message; and second, we need to invent new movement models that will serve the health and well-being of girls and women in the 21st Century.
On this website, you will find real, practical solutions to bridging this gap between what we see in the lab and what we see happening to women.

Here you will be able to join the in-depth discussion of these issues:

• Coordinated planning for making meaningful woman-centered programs available.

• Application of cutting edge research on how exercise modulates disease resistance in women, as well as the health impact of woman’s innate tribal behavior on educational outreach.
